Render base color is really off with the real thing. It's far brighter than what is shown on the color comparison pics. I guess it's safe to assume it will come off as 98% black.

My worry as well, since the base color sample in the imgur album looks almost black.

Iirc Nephlock has mentioned that he would ensure the colors stay true to the renders though.

Hopefully that's the case, because as it is now I'm not too keen on it being really close to black unless you scrutinize it, then you can tell the difference (barely). Also I haven't been up to date with this thread, is there any news about price drops for reaching certain MOQ?

Iíll just have to wait for the sampling as Iím not sure how Iíd feel if it is closer to black. I like the dark navy and the desk mat looks like a dark navy or is it supposed to look almost black? Hard to tell since resolutions will differ in all screens.

Part of the reason the swatch appears so dark is because it is VERY small and on a field of bright white causing more contrast. Pulling an image from page 3, you can see the same swatch next to black, and on top of a US passport.

For those concerned, I will be matching color to the renders. If a sample comes in black, it fails. If you have to scrutinize to tell the difference, it fails. Assuming it will come out black disregards any control during the sampling phases.

I believe this will be one of those very light dependant colors, like Phantom. Depending on lighting, Phantom can be a very rich purple, but in other (most) lighting conditions it can look close to black. This blue seems even more difficult, but I believe the runner has shown us that he will do everything he can to make sure the sample is satisfactory!

I'd like to use this Metropolis cable in a TKC1800, which requires a certain amount of length to pass through interior cable routing before exiting the case. Every coil cable I've personally gotten thus far is too short on the usb mini end, however. Anyone know if there is a process to order this cable and guarantee adequate length on that end, either before the coil or before an aviator connector?

If you have specific requirements for a cable, hit up Spaztikolon from Spaztik Cables, and he can make a custom tailored one for you. The price will be a little bit higher, but I know that he is willing to do that.

Also, just a quick numbers update.

Without updates from the proxies here are our numbers from yesterday.

Base - 101Midnight - 25Signs - 69Blocks - 46

I would imagine we are closer to 150 base with all of the proxies. Because this is performing so well, we are already starting the color matching process.

In short yes, a space bar in the block set will fit your board (the space bar on the base set will as well), however your board has a non-standard bottom row so getting the control/alt/win/fn key to work together will be a problem.
